    RANGERS will postpone their AGM until early next year, with chairman Craig Whyte now deep in talks to find a way out of the club's tax woes.
    SunSport can reveal Whyte has been in detailed negotiations with HMRC to sort out the problems he inherited at Ibrox.

    While that process continues the club's accounts have yet to be signed off, but the champions are awaiting a key letter from QC Andrew Thornhill on their tax case.

    Last year he indicated he expected the ruling to go in Gers' favour and the club have had no suggestion that has changed.

    Whyte said: "We'd still hope to have our accounts signed off before the end of the year.

    "It will not be logistically possible to have the AGM in what remains of 2011, though.

    "We will have it in the first quarter of 2012 when we'll have a better indication of how the tax case will play out.

    "I'd like to face that AGM with more certainty and positive news on the way ahead for Rangers.

    "I feel there is too much focusing on negatives from my past, but I put myself up there to be shot at. I can handle that. But I hope there will be a more positive atmosphere by the time of the AGM."

    Gers filed their unaudited accounts up until June 30 at the last minute eight days ago.

    Under the Companies Act all public limited companies must hold their AGM within six months of the business' year end. That means Hogmanay is the last possible date for an AGM.

    Failure to do so would leave Gers open to fines, but to trigger that a shareholder would need to make a complaint to the registrar at Companies House, who'd then begin an investigation.

    I have said regularly for the past 6 mths, despite their obvious guilt I have no doubt Rangers will get off their tax liability case.
    There is no way in the wide earthly world Rangers will have to suffer.
    The history is there for all to see, Rangers players attack referees in the past and it is brushed under the carpet. To find Rangers
    guilty of a major wrongdoing despite whatever evidence is available, would be in the former Master of the Rolls words
    "Be a terrible vista" Lord Denning said that when he became aware that Irish men who had been beaten to within an inch of their
    lives and sentenced to 40+ years each in prison; were in fact innocent. He wanted to leave them there so as to not rock the establishment.

    Surely the Government minister could not take G Smith scouting to Brazil and allow the huns to be found guilty.
